People behind me (which are small designer homes) are so close to my wall and I can hear everything, and they in turn can here me too. They have complained bitterly even if the dogs bark for a minute so I have confined the dogs to the lanai to keep peace with the neighbors.
Also, now that the weather is cooler, I have been opening my windows and have discovered that many of the neighbors are smokers and sit in their backyards and smoke away. It is intolerable for me and I have to shut the windows and put on the a/c.
My opinion, pay the extra money and get a little more space between neighbors and you'll be very happy.

Hindsight is always 20/20. If you had it do over, would you have kept the Lantana and just drop in an invisible fence for the dogs? Something for anyone else to contemplate rather than moving. (No, I do not work for an invisible fence company)
